These questions ask students to write the equations of conic sections given a variety of information. Students are also asked to find the foci of an ellipse and the asymptotes of a hyperbola. Solutions and explanations are included.

Resource provides an introduction to conics. A picture of each conic, the definition, and a brief discussion about the standard form of conic equations are given, along with encouragement to master conics.

Students can investigate the graphs of conic sections in standard form. Cirlce, ellipse, and hyperbola graphs are included.

Given the graph of a circle or its features, find its standard equation. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Find the center and radius of a circle given the equation in standard form. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Posed with a student question about equations of conics, Dr. Math provides some insight on the standard form of parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas. One example is shown.

This Learn Check file is a review of writing conic sections given the graph of a conic section. Students are asked to use the graphs to write the equations for a ellipse, circle, parabola, and hyperbola.

Given the graph of a circle or its features, practice finding its standard equation.

Examples of conic sections are given and the equation for their standard form is also given.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students learn the focal property and the standard form for ellipses not centered at the origin. Students examine guided notes, review guided...

WebMath offers a java applet that allows you to input information about an ellipse, in one of four forms, and gives you the graph of the ellipse.

This lesson explains the steps for how to find the equation for an ellipse given its foci and vertices. It is 2 of 4 in the series titled "Finding The Equation For An Ellipse."

This brief lesson shows how to find the equation for an ellipse given its foci and vertices and presents a problem to try. Includes a short quiz. It is 1 of 4 in the series titled "Finding The Equation For An Ellipse."

A definition for what a hyperbola is along with example diagrams of what horizontal and vertical hyperbolas are and gives the standard form equation.
